[Asia Economy Reporter Park Jong-il] Yeongdeungpo-gu (Mayor Chae Hyun-il) announced that, following last year, the 'Yeongdeungpo Yeouido Spring Flower Festival' will be canceled again this year to prevent the spread of COVID-19. From March 31 to April 12, traffic control on Yeouiseo-ro (behind the National Assembly building) along the spring flower road will be implemented with a revised schedule.


As the spring flowers are expected to bloom earlier than anticipated, the originally planned traffic control schedule starting April 1 has been moved forward by one day to begin at 9 a.m. on March 31.


An official from the district explained, "Due to the early blooming of Yeouido's spring flowers, we took preemptive measures out of concern that visitors from all over the country would gather densely."


The controlled sections are as follows: ▲ The entire 1.7 km section of Yeouiseo-ro behind the National Assembly is fully closed ▲ The 340 m section from the connection point leading up to the National Assembly Members' Office Building to the north end of Yeoui 2 Bridge is restricted to vehicle access on weekdays from 6 a.m. to 12 p.m. ▲ The 280 m section from Yeoui 2 Bridge to Gate 3 of the National Assembly allows vehicle access only on weekdays from 6 a.m. to 9:30 a.m.



Additionally, the 80 m section from Gate 5 of the National Assembly to the riverside parking lot is accessible only after a separate verification process.
